The Useless Critic 2.0

For the record I watch The Big Bang Theory (TBBT hereafter). I have seen every episode that has come out, and will even go as far to say that some parts of them are entertaining .  I dig the witty banter, the dichotomy between the ditsy-popular girl and the intelligent-socially-awkward nerds, the abstract references to: Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Anime, DC, Marvel , etc… and of course Kaley Cuoco. She is adorable and I will watch anything she does.  But for every good thought I have about TBBT there are a hundred others seething with hatred.  Here is just the tip of the iceberg.  Why I LOVE to HATE The Big Bang Theory: A Rant.

A pop-culture reference.  LIKE THESE GUYS   Anyone looking to hop on...

So in the neverending story of how reality television dominated the world, it is impossible to overlook where it all began. "The Real World" was one of the first shows that pulled Amerikay and the rest of the globe into reality tv, and it still hasn't been canceled. Tonight was the premiere of it's latest location, where 8 strangers live in a Washington D.C. house and do God knows what... Yes, that's 8...not 7. This season on the show where people stop being polite and start being real, there are 4 guys and 4 girls out there to enchant us. So yeah, this season there are some people who will be really interesting and others that are totally fake and not worth a second of your time. One jerk/woman was so annoying...she's all like "I heart obama! I own a passport,but I've never used it." Another was a blonde nincompoop, who has nothing to say. There is also a rather attractive girl who grew up in the church but is now a wild child. And of course.......
